Steps to make Chicken Thigh and King Oyster Mushroom Butter Ponzu Stir-fry:

1. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place in a plastic bag. Rub the meat with the seasonings marked by ◆, and let marinate in the fridge for about one hour.
2. Cut off the stem end of the mushrooms, and rip them by hand into easy-to-eat pieces. If they are hard to split, make a small slice at the base and rip from there.
3. Julienne the shiso leaves and place in a bowl of water. Shake apart the slices with chopsticks and then immediately remove from the water and pat dry (to remove bitterness).
4. Heat the olive oil in a frypan and fry the marinated chicken thighs. Once they have browned, cover the pan and cook until the chicken has been cooked through.
5. Once the chicken is cooked through, add the mushrooms to the pan, and quickly stir-fry on high heat. You can soak up the excess oil with paper towels if you would like.
6. Combine the ponzu soy sauce, mirin, and butter. Pour over the chicken and mushrooms and quickly mix together before turning off the heat. Immediately put the dish onto a plate, and once you've garnished it with the shiso, it's finished.
7. Here is a version where I added some roughly cut lotus root. I also cut the chicken smaller.

Foods That Make You Happy

Mostly, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and need to be avoided. At times, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this is true. Other times, comfort foods can be perfectly nutritious and good for us to consume. Some foods honestly do raise your mood when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try some of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly wonderful at fighting back depression. You need to see to it, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping elevate your mood. Eggs, specifically the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be fantastic for raising your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Consume an egg and feel happier!

Make some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all wonderful for improving your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that directs your brain how you feel at all times. The more of it you have, the happier you are going to feel. Nuts, on top of elevating your mood, can be a great source of protein.

Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you wish to battle depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all loaded with omega-3 and DHA. These are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly elevate your mood.

Some grains are really excellent for driving away bad moods. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are excellent at helping you feel happier. These grains fill you up better and that can help improve your moods also. Feeling starved can be terrible! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest and process. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood sugar which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is excellent for moods. You just knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is rich in a specific amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can basically induce brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You knew that green tea helps you be healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood as well!

As you can see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you wish to feel better! Try some of these instead!
